Back in July of '97 I was at the Sport Truck Nationals in Owensboro, KY. There was a truck there with a similar concept. It was born as a crew cab dually that got totalled. When he rebuilt it, he swapped it to a shortbed and added the extended cab section from a 3-door truck, so he ended up with a 5-door crew cab shortbed dually. It was slammed with nice paint and wheels...slick truck. I wish I could find the pics of it I took (way before my digital photography days.)
I took the roof rack off and set aside with hopes of useing it on the truck, however, now I'm thinking that it might look silly. Either way I planto extend the ribs into the xcab

I would love to see photos of another truck like mine, hope you run across your photos.
